Not long after Li Yunhao laid down, he heard a hurried knock on the door. Then, Zhao Gang's solemn and loud voice sounded outside the door.
"Sir, this subordinate has an urgent report!”
Hearing this, Li Yunhao's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly got off the bed.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Gang standing outside anxiously. His expression was a little nervous and serious, and a tense atmosphere spread.
"What happened?" Li Yunhao frowned and asked.”
Zhao Gang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"I just received a messenger pigeon from Li Hai. The bandits from the Tiger Head Stockade have appeared. Looking at the direction they came from, they are now heading towards the Li family.”
"The thief is here!"
Li Yunhao's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly put on his outer robe and said,"Zhao Gang, immediately order the people in the residence to sound the alarm and inform all the people in the residence to get up and prepare for battle. Especially the front door and the backyard. Also, send someone to inform the Li Fortress of the current situation! He told them to be on alert. In case of an emergency, they did not need to wait for orders and could decide whether to fire or not.”
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Gang gave a military salute and left in a hurry to settle the matters that Li Yunhao had given him.
After Zhao Gang left, Li Yunhao also put on his robe and boots as quickly as possible. Then, he rushed to the front door of the front courtyard anxiously. He was quite depressed. He did not expect the revenge of the Tiger Head Stockade to come so soon. It turned out that they did not dare to take revenge. It seemed that he had thought too much and underestimated the people of this era. If he paid more attention, he could completely nip the danger in the bud.
Along the way, Li Yunhao looked up at the sky and estimated that it was about 90 o'clock at night. The Li family was 60 miles away from Qingfeng Valley.
He had just received a messenger pigeon from Li Hai, saying that the bandits from the Tiger Head Stockade had left the Clear Breeze Valley and entered the plains. According to his estimation, it would take at least two hours for the bandits to reach the Li family.
After all, sixty miles was not a short distance. No matter how fast the bandits of the Tiger Head Stockade ran, it would take a lot of time. Moreover, it was not easy to walk at night. They might need to buy some time. They could send a small group to harass them first and slow down their marching speed to buy more time. In this way, they would have about two hours to prepare.
With this two-hour buffer time, the Li family could prepare for the battle in advance. The method of the Li family castle industrial park could be more rigorous. After all, there were too many people there and it was not easy to arrange.
It was very easy for things to get out of hand and cause some stampedes. It was also very likely that they would be used by people with ulterior motives to create chaos. At that time, they would be attacked from both sides. The consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, Zhao Gang had already ordered people to go to the bell tower (the ancient courtyard was relatively large. In order to facilitate the notification of an emergency, the alarm device was set up.）The alarm sounded.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Suddenly, a dull and ear-piercing bell rang in the sky above the entire Li family.
In addition to sounding the alarm, there were also some servants who were on night watch. They were holding gongs and drums in various corners of the manor. They ran back and forth and beat them, waking up all the guards who had fallen asleep.
The alarm bells rang non-stop. Soon, the entire Li family fell into a tense atmosphere.
Young and strong guards ran out of the house in a neat and tidy manner. They held bullet belts in their hands, carried long guns on their backs, and carried large swords at their waists. They quickly rushed towards the front door of the front yard.
Along the way, many guards greeted Li Yunhao when they saw him. Li Yunhao did not have the time to chat with them. He rushed over anxiously under the crowd.
He ran through the long corridor and passed through the main hall. From afar, Li Yunhao could see the vermillion door tightly shut. Zhao Gang was in the spacious front yard, commanding hundreds of elite guards to deploy defenses on the left and right sides of the manor's door. Tall sandbags were stacked up, and six Maxim heavy machine guns were placed in front of the door. Some obstacles were placed in front to prevent cavalry from attacking.
When he saw Li Yunhao rushing over, Zhao Gang hurriedly went forward and bowed." Reporting, sir! He had just given the order to send a small team of special forces to the Li Fortress to report that everything had been arranged. The soldiers were in the process of being arranged. There were 150 soldiers at the front and back gates, and 200 soldiers in the residence as mobile support at any time! The personal guards have been assembled and can guarantee your safety at any time. If the situation worsened, they can protect you and evacuate at any time!”
Li Yunhao waved his hand." Is everyone here?”
Zhao Gang nodded and said," Almost everyone is here. However, we need to arrange for 20 special forces to strengthen the defense in the backyard. The main reason is that the troops in the backyard can't be fully deployed. It's easy to use the tactics of adding fuel and break through again. We have to strengthen our defenses. Otherwise, if the bandits send out an elite team to forcefully attack from the backyard, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on.”
Li Yunhao nodded." Yes, you're right. Let's see who's more suitable later…"
